EPA Tier 4 Interim diesel engines required the use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel in order to protect emissions control systems, help comply with emissions standards,
and meet published maintenance intervals. ULSD fuel will have < 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur using the ASTM D5453, ASTM 2622, or SIN 51400 test methods.
For ambient and altitude capabilities consult your Cat dealer. Air flow restriction (system) is added to existing restriction from factory.
3
Backpressure allowance is total backpressure available for the customer.
4
Some packages may have oversized generators with a different temperature rise and motor starting characteristics. Generator temperature rise is based on a 40 degree C
ambient per NEMA MG1-32.
5
Requires the use of CJ4 oil in order to meet published maintenance intervals.
6
Emissions data measurement procedures are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89, Subpart D & E and ISO8178-1 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx. Data
shown is based on steady state operating conditions of 77F, 28.42 in HG and number 2 diesel fuel with 35 API and LHV of 18,390 btu/lb. The nominal emissions data shown
is subject to instrumentation, measurement, facility and engine to engine variations. Emissions data is based on 100% load and thus cannot be used to compare to EPA
regulations which use values based on a weighted cycle.

Prime Output available with varying load for an
unlimited time. Average power output is 70% of the
prime power rating. Typical peak demand is 100%
of the prime rated ekW with 10% overload capability for
emergency use for a maximum of 1 hour in 12.
Overload operation cannot exceed 25 hours per year.

Ratings are based on SAE J1349 standard conditions.

These ratings also apply at ISO3046 standard conditions
Fuel Rates are based on fuel oil of 35 API [16 C (60
F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb)
when used at 29 C (85 F) and weighing 838.9 g/liter
(7.001 lbs/U.S. gal.). Additional ratings may be available
for specific customer requirements, contact your Cat
representative for details. For information regarding Low
Sulfur fuel and Biodiesel capability, please consult your
Cat dealer.
